Northridge Falls to USIU, 98-96

Andre Chevalier came up short on an eight-foot, off-balance jump shot with six seconds left Thursday night as Cal State Northridge lost its fifth consecutive game, 98-96, to U.S. International at Golden Hall.

The Gulls ended an 18-game losing streak. They are 2-22.

Kevin Bradshaw scored U.S. International’s last four points en route to his 46 points. He is leading the nation in scoring with a 37.7 average.

Chevalier missed a free throw with 13 seconds left that would have tied the game. Three seconds later, Bradshaw sank one of two attempts.

Northridge (7-16) was led by Shelton Boykin, who scored a career-high 23 points and tied for his season-high in rebounding with 13.

Northridge Coach Pete Cassidy had surgery Thursday in Woodland Hills for an intestinal disorder and was in stable condition. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
